For calculation of the reliability of marine power station the redundant system,an analysis method of the system reliability based on Markov process is proposed from the basic models of system main redundant modes and a reliability mathematical model of the system is established.Then,a formula about the system reliability and the average working time without failure is given.A sound theoretical basis may be provided for further redundant design of marine power station.Furthermore,the idea and results presented in the paper could be applied in other types of power station system.
